Hello Year 5!
This half term our topic is The Victorians!
Thank you for working so hard on your home learning. If you want to send me any pictures of your work, or you at work, please send them to my email address and I'll add them to the slideshow below, once a week. There's no pressure at all to do this so don't worry if you don't fancy sending me pictures.
I would like everyone to have a go each day at the work in the packs. If you are struggling, please don't panic! There will be some questions that you find tricky - just spend five minutes on them, do your best and move on.
Most importantly, take time to enjoy other activities at home! Go for a walk with your Mum or Dad, help your parent/s in the garden, do some baking with your parent/s, keep a diary each day, read each day, do some drawing or colouring.
Mrs Longhurst will give you some RE and Music to work on.
Take care and see you soon,
Mrs Bradford, Mrs Fairbanks, Mrs Van-Duivenvoorde, Mrs Fenton, Mrs Marsden.

Using the resource below as a prompt, write two paragraphs explaining how the lives of the rich and poor were different in Victorian times.
Science
Using the information below draw line graphs to display the data.
You can choose either -
- One line graph with two lines on it - using the top document - one line for boys and one line for girls height OR
- Two line graph each with two lines on them - using the bottom document - one graph for weight and one for height.
Think about putting the age along the horizontal x axis and Height up the vertical y axis.
What numbers do you need to go up to on the y axis? How many squares can you give each
For Computing: As children are online even more than usual, we will be including some online safety games and resources for the children to complete each week. This week we will be looking at how to use a mobile phone safely.
First, read through the PowerPoint of Lucy and Izzy’s story. Then have a go at Activity 1 on the lesson plan document. Which cards go in the ‘do’ pile and which in the ‘don’t’ pile?
Then work through the Safe or Silly PowerPoint on places to use your mobile phone.
There are further notes on the lesson plan in case you get stuck :)
This Week’s RE – Women in the Bible
Over the next few weeks we will be learning about some of the women found in the Old and New Testaments.
Hannah
You can find her story in the Old Testament of the Bible in the First book of Samuel Chapter 1 - (written 1 Samuel 1).
Why did she pray? How did she pray? Where did she pray?
Write what you think we could learn from Hannah.
Follow the link and watch the story of Hannah.
Hannah faithfully prays without giving up. She trusts in God and keeps her promise.
A wonderful picture of Hannah can be found on the website of artist Michael Bogdanow, www.michaelbogdanow.com

This week’s music is Rock ‘n’Roll from the 1950’s.
The group are called Bill Hayley and the Comets.
Look at the instruments and notice that they are still very much like those from the earlier jazz and swing bands.
Find out more about the rock’n’roll era of the 1950’s.
Which other groups were famous then?
What is the dance called that the people are doing in the film clips?
Do you like the music and can you dance to it?
This music led to the 1960’s pop music led by groups such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Hollies.
There were many more.
